Who will be the starting QB for Arizona against Kansas State?

Quarterback Noah Fifita will start for Arizona Wildcats against Kansas State, and Cole Tannenbaum will be his backup. Fifita also started the first two games this season and completed 37 of 47 passes for 595 yards, scoring five touchdowns and two interceptions.

Fifita, playing his third season with Arizona, recorded 2,869 yards, 25 touchdowns and six interceptions in 12 games last season. The Wildcats QB1 is off to a great start in the 2024 season, and with 10 more games remaining, he might surpass his personal best and etch his name among the rising young quarterbacks.


Who will be the starting QB for Kansas State against Arizona?

Avery Johnson will be the starting quarterback for Kansas State on Friday, while Ta'Quan Roberson will be his backup. Johnson has already started in the first two Wildcats games where he recorded a pass completion percentage of 65.9 with 334 yards and scored four touchdowns and one interception.

Johnson, now in his sophomore year, is a promising talent, but he has yet to hit his A-game to secure a long-term starting role as the Wildcats' QB1. Leading his team to back-to-back wins shows he's on the right track, but he could further elevate his status by upsetting Arizona tonight.
